You may know Kurt Vonnegut's book, Ice Nine.
I've lost track, but there are at least 14 forms of ice, depending on temperature and pressure. Some of these occur in snow, resulting in many different crystals.
When water molecules crystalize, hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces become dominant. This is well understood and needs no miracles to explain.
In fact with enough miracles, anything whatsoever can be "explained".
It is also possible for liquid water, ice, and steam to co-exist. This is at the triple point. Any thermodynamics text can provide details. Oxygen, sulfur, iron, uranium, etc. also have a triple point. Also molecular compounds, such as ethanol, sulfur dioxide.
Vonnegut's book which featured Ice 9 was called 'Cat's Cradle'.
Terrific read.

"You may know Kurt Vonnegut's book, Ice Nine."
Wasn't the title of that book "Cat's Cradle"? (LOL - I've made the same mistake.)
Another good book of his was Slaughterhouse-Five
